Haha, I was a tad stuck for time so just left them out. Plus popping them off to do is easier and I'm hoping to put some fogs in the instead. Thank you for the compliment! Makes it worth it :D

Right, popped down to John's garage and got the windy gun on them till it span the strut too and splashed out 40p on some nylock nuts to but up to the top mount nut. Still getting the odd knock but dunno whether its me being paranoid. Went to pick some gas up and it sat quite nicely with a...

Right, I've got a knocking/rattle on both sides going over little bumps. Gunna guess it's because the top nut isn't fully tightened, I hope. Gotta find or make a tool to grab the but so I can hold the strut still too. The joys of not having correct tools. Wary of this tracking business now. Do I...

Ahh, my bad :p I haven't, if you mean what bits of which leg I had this copied on my phone off here haha: 'yep, matiz top spring cup, matiz plastic bearing, micra topmount with the hole filed out to fit the matiz strut top, i then used the matiz spring washer and top nut. You will also have to...

Crickey, think I best stop with the guessing haha. Grand, ta. 7th setup?? Matiz encouraging oversteer? Blinking oracle of suspension ere! Tracking doable DIY (lasers/string) or is that one for the pros? Noticed steering being heavier since changing legs but deeming that normal. What setup are...

Well, in that case, I think I'll be leaving the corsa shocks n cut springs for when meeting up with you lot in the future or whatnot for aesthetics! Thank you for clearing up thou mythical bullshizen. I too will have precious souls to look after in my vehicle and don't wish for such an...

But oversteer equals fun right? :p or it that just for RWD? Right, so all I need to do now is cut the springs I have, get some others on the way just in case and not fit the corsa B's? I thought they aided in lowering the rear, or is that when we're talking lower than 35mm. I've been told a few...

Re-reading what you've said 10% isn't really all that. Hmm.

Ahh of course, I'd forgotten about that. D'ya think 35mm would look daft against the front, possibly too high. I'll be putting 185/50(55?)/15's in there next month and my guestimation suggests it should fill the arch the same as it does now.Tryna imagine that if the passat springs were laden on...

I like skymera's idea, don't want it to struggle with a car full either. I have seen on here that Passat springs are harder? Or alto ones lower it? I'm wide open to suggestions as to what is reckoned best.

We're on and rocking! Wedged a socket on a drill which helped but decided to risk mole gripping the strut to keep it still. Once they were on and the car down, I tightened them up even more. Hopefully this will do, I will check it again. Can't believe the difference in ride on the road...

This is the untouched matiz strut: And this is as far as I've been able to tighten the one with the micra mount in situ: Not ideal! Gunna struggle to get that back off if I need to. Thanks for replying Enuo, I know I've cocked up.

Well, what a nightmare! Let's just say - makeshift spring compressors - BAD idea! I was pottering along today getting the standard shocks off thinking about making a spring compressor like I'd see one online. I asked the Mr his thoughts which then turned into trying these out using the old...

Matiz front struts n springs and rear corsa b struts en route :) no idea what the drop will be like. Alto springs on the rear? Meh, we'll see.

Might not mean much to some but he now has a bloody matching boot that actually works!! Happy days. Now then, what do we think to this for sus setup: Bilstein B4 Corsa B rear shocks £50 for 2 Alto springs all round £60 hopefully. New Micra front shocks? Think that might be a waste but dunno...

Har har :p

Ahh, I did put it on but stupidly overpriced haha. Ended up falling in love. Thanks!

Nope, we were a side street away from the garage, juuust in view. They had offered to leave him in there over night but a wagon was parked blocking the street and when my mum arrived to pick us up she was pretty irrate for ruining her day so I daren't ask her to wait till we could push him to...

I think I'ma agree with the majority n satin black them :) cheers! Haha yep, the pug was jewish racing gold with the drivers seat held down only by the rear bolts o_O so perhaps it was a blessing in disguise! Ey, I wouldn't mind but before the court hearing, I got Fester (the fiesta) sorted...

Thanking you :D it has certainly enhanced his eyebulbs! I was thinking that re: the bumper strips, however I do have a can of red to tidy the damage up at the back so we'll see how well it matches, or not :p Ah, roof bars are the way forward!! I love how it looks on Moomin. Unfortunately...
